Research Flashcards
3 factors involved in a evidence based practice
Expertise
Evidence
Patients
Type of research that stablish cause and effect relationship
True experimental research
Criterias of true experimental group
Controlled and the experimental group
Researcher manipulated group
Randominization
If one or more of the criteria of true experimental research is not met.
Quasi experimental research
Most commonly not attained criteria to fall under Quasi experimental research
Randominization
Type of research which describes characteristics, attitude, behavior, beliefs, manifestations
Non experimental descriptive
Type of research which describes connections or relationships between variables and it doesn’t manipulate parients
Non experimental exploratory
Type of research design that uses collection of several researches
Synthesized literature
2 types of synthesized literature
Systematic reviews
Meta analysis
Type of synthesized literature that focuses on comprehensive analysis of FULL RANGE LITERATURE
Systhematic reviews
Type of synthesized literature that uses statistical combination of several researches
Higher level if validity
Meta analysis
2 types of Qualitative research designs
Phenomenology
Ethnography
Type of Qualitative research design that focuses on specific events
Phenomenology
Type of Qualitative research design that focuses on ethnicity
Describes culture, traditions, attitude, and beliefs
+SITE VISIT
It relates health conditions with their ethnics
Ethnography
6 types of Quantitative research designs
Randomized controlled trial (RCT) Cohort/follow up study Case control Cross sectional Longitudinal Singke subject design
Gold standard of all experimental researches
High validity
A true experimental research
Randomized controlled trial
Prospective study
Subjects may NOT HAVE the disorder yet
Waits for the future results
Cohort/Follow-up study
Retrospective study
Subjects may already HAVE the disorder
Case control
Studies group of subjects at specific point in time
Cross sectional
Studies SERIES of cohort studies or follow up studies
Example: milestones
Longitudinal
Studies effectiveness of a specific intervention
Single subject design
Single subject design for effectiveness of a specific intervention
A-B
Single subject design for the duration of effectiveness
+wash out period(no tx)
A-B-A
Single subject design
if the independent variable is the direct cause of change in the dependent variable.
Identifying if there is a intervening variables
A-B-A-B
Building blocks of a research title or research question
Variables
Cause
Makes change
Intervention or treatment
AKA predictor variable
Independent variable
Effect
The one that will change
AKA target variable
Dependent variable
Decreases validity of the research
AKA unaccounted variable/covariable
Intervening variable
Educated guess
Hypothesis
A hypothesis that does not expect/assume
More on negative
Null hypothesis
A hypothesis that expects/assume
More on positive
Alternative hypothesis
Type of error when the researcher rejects the null when its in fact it is true
Implications: giving a tx that is NOT REALLY EFFECTIVE
Type I error
Type of error when the researcher accepts the null when it is false
Implications: ignoring a tx that is REALLY EFFECTIVE
Type II error
Weakest or lowest data type
Ex. Gender, blood type, course
AKA classificatory scale
Nominal data
Rank ordered category
Every rank has its own description
Ex. Mmt grade, pain scale, fim, borg scale(Likert scale)
Ordinal data
Rank order with known distance
No absolute Zero(can extend beyond zero)
Ex. Temperature
Interval data
